Big Oil is raking in profits from Trump’s war with Iran while American families pay more at the pump.

Shell just reported nearly $7 billion in quarterly profit after oil prices surged during the conflict. Other fossil fuel giants are benefiting from the same crisis. Higher prices mean more money for oil executives, shareholders, and corporate giants that already spend billions protecting their political power.

Families are paying for it every day. Gas prices hit workers who have to drive, parents taking kids to school, seniors on fixed incomes, rural families with long commutes, and small businesses that depend on transportation. Higher oil prices also raise the cost of food, shipping, flights, utilities, and everyday goods.

Congress must pass the Big Oil Windfall Profits Tax Act. The bill would tax excess oil profits driven by crisis-price spikes and return that money to American households through rebates. During the 2022 oil price shock, a similar approach could have returned roughly $1,715 per household. With war-driven prices rising again, families deserve at least that much back, likely more.

Big Oil keeps choosing short-term profit while families pay higher prices and communities live with the damage. Congress must tax Big Oil’s windfall profits and send the money back to the people paying the price.

Tell Congress to pass the Big Oil Windfall Profits Tax Act, tax Big Oil’s war profits, and give Americans a rebate.

In late April, the Supreme Court gave Republicans what they have wanted for years: a green light to redraw maps, weaken voting rights protections, and wipe Democratic seats off the board across the South.

Donald Trump celebrated what he saw as the GOP's permanent advantage, and Republicans are now moving at record pace to target Black representation, Democratic voters, and the congressional districts that still give working people a voice in states like Tennessee, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, and South Carolina.

And just today, another court handed Republicans what Trump is calling a "huge win." As The New York Times reports:

Virginia's top court struck down a congressional map drawn by Democrats and recently approved by voters, dealing a major blow to the party as it struggles to keep pace with Republicans in the nation’s redistricting battle. The ruling will wipe out four newly drawn Democratic-leaning U.S. House districts in Virginia, giving Republicans, who have carved out more red seats across the country, a structural advantage as they enter the midterm elections.

Democrats have to take immediate action to defend democracy! Democratic party leaders, governors, and state legislators have to stop hesitating—they need to redistrict quickly and aggressively!

If Democrats do that, they can create as many as 22 new blue U.S. House seats across seven blue and swing states by 2028, and fully neutralize the GOP's projected 19-seat gain across the South.

Please sign our urgent petition now. Tell the Democratic National Committee, House Democratic leaders, governors, and elected officials in target states: Redistrict now, fight back against the GOP's power grab, and use every legal tool available to create new Democratic House seats before Republicans lock in control.

Late last week, the Supreme Court gave Republicans what they have wanted for years: a green light to redraw maps, weaken voting rights protections, and wipe Democratic seats off the board across the South.

Trump is celebrating because he thinks the Court handed his party a permanent advantage.

Fortunately, Trump is wrong! An analysis by Fair Fight Action, the leading nationwide voting and civil rights organization, shows Democrats can create as many as 22 new blue U.S. House seats across seven blue and swing states by 2028.

That’s right, if party leaders, governors, and state legislators stop hesitating and redistrict aggressively in New York, Colorado, Maryland, Oregon, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Pennsylvania, they can fully neutralize the GOP’s projected 19-seat gain across the South.

Republicans are already moving at record pace. They are targeting Black representation, Democratic voters, and the congressional districts that still give working people a voice in states like Tennessee, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, and South Carolina. If Democrats treat this like a normal policy disagreement, Republicans will use the Court’s ruling to lock in minority rule for years.

This doesn’t have to be the only way Democrats fight back. Democrats must use every tool they have to defend democracy, especially protecting the voting power of underserved communities.

That means passing a new Voting Rights Act, creating national standards for non-partisan redistricting after the next census, and many other reforms that will protect our democracy -- but none of that is possible if Republicans redistrict Democrats out of power for the next several decades.

Tell the DNC, House Democratic leaders, governors, and elected officials in target states to redistrict now, fight back against the GOP’s power grab, and use every legal tool available to create new Democratic House seats before Republicans lock in control.
